What is a pole banner?
A pole banner—also known as a street pole banner, boulevard banner, or street banner sign—is an outdoor advertising display mounted vertically on poles along streets, sidewalks, campuses, and shopping districts.
What are pole banners commonly used for?
- Street and boulevard advertising
- Downtown branding and beautification
- Festivals, parades, and seasonal events
- Holiday promotions
- Campus and municipal messaging
Pole banners are designed to be visible above street-level clutter, making them one of the most effective forms of outdoor advertising.
How does a pole banner system work?
Pole banner systems use tension-mounted hardware to keep banners secure, readable, and resistant to wind movement.
Single-sided vs. double-sided pole banners
- Single sided pole banner
Displays graphics on one face. Ideal for streets with one-direction traffic or sidewalk-focused messaging. - Double sided pole banner / two sided street pole banner
Displays graphics on both sides for maximum exposure on boulevards and intersections.
Installation overview
- Hardware mounts securely to round, square, or multi-sided poles
- Banner slides into reinforced pole sleeves
- Tension arms hold the banner flat and visible
Once hardware is installed, banners can be changed seasonally without replacing the mounting system.
